Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The stories and legends of the Lushootseed-speaking people of Puget Sound represent an important part of the oral tradition by which one generation hands down beliefs, values, and customs to another.

Animals, plants, trees, and even rocks had human attributes. Prominent characters like Wolf, Salmon, and Changer and tricksters like Mink, Raven, and Coyote populate humorous, earthy stories that reflect foibles of human nature, convey serious moral instruction, and comically detail the unfortunate, even disastrous consequences of breaking taboos.Beautifully redesigned and with a new foreword by Jill La Pointe, Haboo offers a vivid and invaluable resource for linguists, anthropologists, folklorists, future generations of Lushootseed-speaking people, and others interested in Native languages and cultures.

Softcover. Condition: As New. The stories and legends of the Lushootseed-speaking people of Puget Sound were an important part of the oral tradition by which beliefs, values, and customs were handed from one generation to another. Vi Hilbert, a Skagit Indian, grew up at a time when many of the old social patterns survived and when everyone still spoke the ancestral language. As an adult, when she realized that native language and culture were being forgotten, she began to work with linguists and anthropologists in recording and translating as much of the Lushootseed oral tradition as possible. Haboo is her collection of thirty-three stories.Most of the stories in the book take place in the Myth Age, before the world was transformed. Animals, plants, trees, and even rocks had human attributes as well as the characteristics we know today. Characters included Wolf, Salmon, and Changer, who made things the way they are now. Especially prominent are Mink, Raven, and Coyote?three tricksters who are usually caught in their duplicity but who can occasionally rise to heroic deeds. Other worlds exist?the sky world, the Salmon People's world?and it is possible to walk from one to another. Many of the stories are light, humorous, and earthy, reflecting the foibles of human nature. While a serious moral is usually implied, instruction is achieved by humorously detailing the unfortunate, even disastrous consequences of breaking taboos.…

Softcover. Condition: As New. Beilage vorhanden. This book and its accompanying compact disk provide a rare insight into Native American sacred traditions of song and dance, stemming from a unique exhibit and live performance at the Northwest Folklife Festival. It features personal narratives, stories, and essays on the music of the First People in the region now known as Washington State. A diverse array of musical genres and styles has emerged across various tribes and reservations, including social dance songs, game songs, and hymns. Skagit elder Vi Hilbert introduces the collection, which includes contributions from notable figures such as Bruce-Subiyay Miller, Cliff Sijohn, Jeanette Timentwa, and others. Their narratives delve into the significance of tribal music, both historically and in contemporary contexts. Roberta Haines provides historical and political background, highlighting how spiritual traditions were maintained through dance and song despite government suppression. The book also examines song traditions within the Indian Shaker Church, with insights from Pamela Amoss and James Everett Cunningham. Appendixes by Laurel Sercombe, Judith Gray, and William Seaburg detail the work of past ethnographers and current preservation efforts. This project represents a multi-year collaboration among Washington State's tribes, Jack Straw Productions, Northwest Folklife, and the Washington State Arts Commission's Folk Arts Program. …
